Excellent. Thanks for the quick turnaround on this, guys. I'll seed for as long as I can after i've finished leeching the file.
I was going to try this from work since we've got a much faster connection than our DSL connection at home, but I completely forgot about the fact that we have a pretty restrictive firewall here. Is it possible to grab the Torrent from behind a firewall? If not, I'll just start a download tonight after work from home and let it go for as long as it takes.
you can DL from behind a firewall, but it's usually slow going. When you get home, the torrent should be getting close to being fully propogated, so your DL speeds should be excellent at home.
Cool. I'll wait until tonight. This rocks. A quick and hopefully not dumb question - if I burn this to a CD-ROM will I be able to watch this on a DVD player that can handle multiple file formats?
Unfortunately it's the FSW broadcast which was pretty crappy. Including a satellite outage for about 15 seconds (in the first half I believe), don't know if you had that on Comcast or not. The video is encoded with the open-source xvid codec. My upload bandwidth is around 35k/sec which is being split with the Western Conference torrent. When I get home from work I'll turn that one off and dedicate it all to this one so it will go much faster, unless someone gets to 100% before 5pm.
Another option down the road, is to break the file into 2 halves. (both under 1 GB I imagine). Then we could send it via Gmail (1 GB BW). I was downloading it at home, but I had to pause the download because I had to bring my laptop to work. When I return home, will it resume from where it left off? Or do I have to download the whole thing in one sitting?
Quick question, I'm new to this so here's my question: If I understood the documentation correctly if I finish downloading and do not close the client it will continue to share the file automatically. This then speeds it up for everyone. So basically I should do nothing but go to work, come home and check the down/upload then. I think I got it. Up any road, many thanks. Mark
That would be correct. Just leave the downloader/uploader application open, and it speeds it up for everyone else.
It will resume from where it left off. I thought about breaking it up, didn't think about gmail, good idea, but decided to leave it as a whole and let others break it up as they wish.
Ok, I know the file is too big to fit on CD, but if it was burned to DVD Rom, then it should be playable on DVD players that can recognize the format, right?
Sorta. It's slightly complicated by the fact that the files are not simply byte-by-byte images of the surface of a DVD, but rather are video files of a particular format that's not the same as the formatting of video on a DVD. So under normal circumstances, if you were to burn a DVD with these files, you'd normally get a DVD that's like a data CD in that you could mount it, browse its folders (if it had any), click on the files to play them in the viewer of your choice, etc. But if you want to take these files and burn them onto a DVD with the intent that you could then play it on any DVD player like a regular DVD, you need software that will encode into DVD format. That's not hard to get, and for all I know the software you already have for burning has that capability. It's just something you need to be aware of.
dammit! all this trouble. we need to ask cox cable to add a channel where all they show is the eastern conference final 24/7 for the next year.
Yeah, if your DVD player plays xvid then you'll have no problem. BTW, there is a great shot of you, I think it's you at least, during the penalty kicks.
... Give Rep To Eneste! ... One more thing, everyone downloading this torrent should send some rep eneste's way. Here's the post I repped: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3538686&postcount=1
Re: ... Give Rep To Eneste! ... I repped him last night, I think. At 2pm this afternoon, when I was home for lunch, the download was about 75% done after 15 hours or so. I had uploaded about twice as much as I had downloaded, which I'm told is unusual - I'm working under the assumption that it's because there are more people trying to get it than there are people who have it. I expect it to be done before I get home tonight.
Consider this a plea to all to keep seeding for at least the next two weeks. This afternoon I sent my laptop off to the shop for repairs, and I won't have my baby back until mid next week. I'll rep eneste in the meantime however.
